Young parents

Being a young Mum or Dad doesn’t mean you can’t carry on with your learning at school, college or university. In fact, having an extra person to provide for is an extra reason to get qualifications.

If you continue your learning, you’ll get the chance to meet new people and learn new skills. Not only that - qualifications will improve your chances of getting better employment in the future. This will benefit both you and your child. There’s no need to put your future on hold. Your future starts here.
